This Privacy Policy explains how Maetheon Limited ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you use BSKY Picker. BSKY Picker is owned and powered by Maetheon Limited, a software company based in the United Kingdom. By using the tool, you agree to the practices described here. We have written this in plain language because you should not need a law degree to understand what happens to your information.
Who we are
BSKY Picker is a tool that helps you randomly select winners from your Bluesky posts using custom filters and conditions. The service is provided by Maetheon Limited. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle data, you can contact us at [email protected] or by WhatsApp on +44 7988 748570.
What information we collect
We try to collect as little as possible while still letting the tool work properly. The information we may handle falls into a few categories.
Information you give us. When you contact us for support or a business enquiry, you may share your name, email address, WhatsApp number, and the contents of your message. If you create an account or use a paid feature, we may collect the details needed to set that up.
Information from your Bluesky activity. To run a draw, BSKY Picker needs to read the public interactions on the post you choose, such as replies, reposts, likes and quote posts, along with the public handles and identifiers of the people who took part. We only access what is necessary to gather entries and apply your filters. We do not ask for your Bluesky password, and we work within the access the platform allows.
Technical information. Like most online services, we may automatically collect basic technical data such as your browser type, device information, general location based on IP address, and how you use the tool. This helps us keep the service running, spot problems, and improve the experience.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect for clear and limited purposes.
We use it to run the service, which means gathering entries, applying your filters and conditions, and producing your draw results. We use it to respond to your enquiries when you contact our support or business channels. We use it to maintain and improve BSKY Picker, including fixing bugs and developing new features based on how the tool is actually used. We use it to keep the service secure and to prevent misuse or fraud. And where the law requires it, we use it to meet our legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. That is not part of our business and never will be.
How long we keep information
We keep information only for as long as we need it. Draw-related data is kept long enough for you to view and share your results and to provide support if something goes wrong, after which it may be removed. Support messages are kept as long as they are useful for helping you and for our records. If you ask us to delete information we hold about you, we will do so unless we are required to keep it for legal reasons.
Sharing information
We share information sparingly and only when there is a good reason.
We may share data with trusted service providers who help us run BSKY Picker, such as hosting and infrastructure partners. These providers act on our instructions and are bound to protect your information. We may share information where the law requires it, for example in response to a valid legal request. And if Maetheon Limited is ever involved in a business transfer, information may pass to the new owner under the same protections described here.
We do not share your information with advertisers for them to target you.
Bluesky's role
BSKY Picker works alongside Bluesky, but it is a separate service operated by Maetheon Limited. When you use the tool, you are also subject to Bluesky's own terms and privacy policy, which we do not control. Because Bluesky is built on an open, decentralised protocol, much of the data you interact with is public by design. We access that public data only to provide the features you have asked for, and we encourage you to review Bluesky's policies to understand how that platform handles your information.
Cookies and similar technologies
BSKY Picker may use cookies and similar technologies to help the service work and to understand how it is used. Some cookies are necessary to keep you signed in and to keep the tool functioning. Others help us measure performance so we can improve the experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although turning off necessary cookies may stop parts of the tool from working as intended.
The legal bases we rely on
If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, data protection law requires us to have a lawful reason for using your information. In practice, we rely on a few of these reasons. We process data to perform the service you have asked for, which covers running your draws and managing your account. We process data because we have a legitimate interest in keeping BSKY Picker secure, improving it and responding to enquiries, provided that interest does not override your rights. Where the law requires it, we process data to meet a legal obligation. And in some cases we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
International data transfers
Maetheon Limited is based in the United Kingdom, and the partners who help us run BSKY Picker may be located in other countries. Where information is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we take steps to make sure it remains protected to a comparable standard, using appropriate safeguards recognised under data protection law.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the information we hold about you. These can include the right to access the data we hold, the right to ask us to correct it if it is wrong, the right to ask us to delete it, the right to object to or restrict certain uses, and the right to receive a copy of your data in a portable form.
If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, these rights are provided under data protection law including the UK GDPR. To exercise any of them, just contact us at [email protected] and we will help. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority if you are unhappy with how we have handled your information.
Keeping your information safe
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security, but we work hard to keep your data protected and we review our practices regularly.
We will never ask for your Bluesky password, and we will never request sensitive payment details out of the blue over email or WhatsApp. If you receive a message claiming to be from us that asks for something like that, treat it with suspicion and contact us directly using the details below to check.
Children
BSKY Picker is intended for use by adults running promotions and giveaways. It is not designed for or directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the tool or in the law. When we make a significant change, we will update the date and, where appropriate, let users know. We encourage you to check back occasionally so you are aware of how we protect your information.
Contact us about privacy
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests relating to your privacy or this policy, please get in touch. We take these matters seriously and will always do our best to help.
